Did someone Used NVflash?

[Guest Suruceanu.Nick]

So, did someone used?

if yes, how?

[Guest CoaBalboa]

Download from Nvidia developer site Ventana Development Kit for ICS (Tegra2) and you'll get everything you need for nvflash include drivers. For tutorials how to use nvflash you need to find out yourself. XDA has lot of them, wikipedia too.

I did a little stuff, mostly download from phone to pc and not all commands working.

I flashed CMW recovery and had an error; when i rebooted phone dosent boot, when i conect to PC with volume down preset, in device manager it is an APX device (nVidia Flash tool);

How can i unbrick it, restore boot?

[Guest CoaBalboa]

with same command used to flash recovery. one thing, you need to know your partition list, otherwise you can flash boot on diferent location (partition).

APP -> system

CAC -> cache

LNX -> boot.img

MDA -> Unknown

MSC -> Misc (bootloader commands and other misc stuff )

PER -> usually a fat partition containing sensor calibration etc. - per device provisioned.

SOS -> recovery.img

UDA -> /data - "user data area"

USP -> Staging

When I do same command in my adb shell I get that there is 12 partitions and mounted differently.

Is it safe to play with CWM recovery and install custom ROMs because of this differecies in mount points?
